The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC or Commission) today voted to conduct a full five-
year ("sunset") review concerning the antidumping duty order on imports of ammonium nitrate from
Ukraine (Inv. No. 731-TA-894 (Review)).

As a result of today's votes, the Commission will conduct a full review to determine whether
revocation of this order would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury
within a reasonably foreseeable time.

The Uruguay Round Agreements Act requires the Department of Commerce to revoke an
antidumping or countervailing duty order, or terminate a suspension agreement, after five years
unless the Department of Commerce and the ITC determine that revoking the order or terminating
the suspension agreement would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping or
subsidies (Commerce) and of material injury (ITC) within a reasonably foreseeable time.

The Commission's notice of institution in five-year reviews requests that interested parties file with
the Commission responses that discuss the likely effects of revoking the order under review and
provide other pertinent information. Generally within 95 days from institution, the Commission
will determine whether the responses it has received reflect an adequate or inadequate level of
interest in a full review. If responses to the ITC's notice of institution are adequate, or if other
circumstances warrant a full review, the Commission conducts a full review, which includes a
public hearing and issuance of questionnaires.

All six Commissioners concluded that both the domestic group response and the respondent group
response were adequate and voted for a full review.

A record of the Commission's vote on this matter is available from the Office of the Secretary, U.S.
International Trade Commission, 500 E Street SW, Washington, DC 20436. Requests may be
made by telephone by calling 202-205-1802.

The record of the Commission's vote is also posted on the ITC's Internet site at
http://info.usitc.gov/oinv/sunset.NSF (under "Ammonium Nitrate - Ukraine").

The Federal Register notice will indicate whether any further information or statements will be
available. The Commission will issue a report after it completes its review.
